About Sunshine Decodables
The Decodable Library contains 180 child-centred, relatable titles – both fiction and non-fiction. The titles follow a synthetic, systematic, cumulative, and sequential scope and sequence, so that students are exposed to phonemes and graphemes sequentially and then read meaningful texts containing only those sounds and letters that they have learnt. The titles are automatically unlocked in sequential order ensuring that students follow the systematic progression, thus ensuring reading success.

Why do students need Decodables?
(Mel to rewrite) Children will not learn to read if they cannot decode words. Decoding is knowing the letters, or groups of letters, that represent the sounds that we can hear and the more sounds a child can recognise, the more words they are able to read. We can surround children with books that tell incredible stories and facts, but if these books are made up of words with letter/sound patterns that children cannot recognise, they will fail to read independently.
